NATIVE AMERICAN CULTURE TEACHING MODULES (JULY 15, 2013 AFTERNOON) Bob Connelly, Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) Assistant General Manager, asked for the Committee's support of an exception budget request of $110,000 for PBS. The request is outlined in appendix 3. The funds would pay for the creation of online video teaching modules that educators could use in teaching about Native American cultures. Representative Larsen moved to have the Committee support the budget request. The motion passed unanimously. The Committee directed LSO to prepare a letter of support to the Joint Appropriations Committee. UTILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE Representative Goggles, Executive Director of the Northern Arapaho Housing Authority, updated the Committee on current and future housing projects. Representative Goggles explained that the Helping Expedite and Advance Responsible Tribal Home Ownership Act of 2012, also known as the HEARTH Act, will expedite housing projects by allowing the Tribes to enter into leases on restricted land without approval from the Secretary of the Interior. Erin Martin, Eastern Shoshone Utilities Director, provided an update on the Shoshone Utility. The utility built a surface water treatment plant five years ago. Most of the customers are rural. Failing septic systems is one of the major issues the utility faces. Pat Moss, Great Plains Utility Director, provided handouts 4 and 5. The handouts show the Arapahoe Water Service Area. There are two separate systems operated by the utility and two well sources. A third well is under development. Mr. Moss described the projects the utility is pursuing, including looping between the Wind River Casino and 789 locations and an additional storage tank. Harry LaBonde, Wyoming Water Development Office Director, advised the Committee about the Ethete water project. He explained that the best additional source for Ethete WYOMING LEGISLATIVE SERVICE OFFICE • 213 State Capitol • Cheyenne, Wyoming 82002 TELEPHONE (307) 777-7881 • FAX 307-777-5466 • E-MAIL [email protected] • WEB SITE http://legisweb.state.wy.us PAGE 3 OF 7 appears to be alluvial wells. The Water Development Commission and the legislature approved a $2 million grant to develop the wells. However, the $2 million local match has not been obtained. The Commission has advised the utility that if the local match is not reached by November, the Commission will recommend that the funds revert. Travis Brockie, Engineer for the Northern Arapaho Tribe, clarified that the Rural Utility Services (RUS) funding application has been amended to make the project more feasible. Chairman Case read a letter from the Governor (appendix 6) that indicated there have been discussions on water storage. Mr. LaBonde explained that there may be an interest in building a water storage facility on the Reservation with a state current day priority. Sara Robinson, Water Resource Control Board, expressed that Mr. LaBonde has been a tremendous resource to the board. Troy Babbitt, Department of Enterprise Technology Services Broadband Coordinator, updated the Committee on the progress of the unified network project. Phase 1 of the project will happen this year. Mr. Babbitt provided handouts showing the internet access project and goals (appendixes 7 and 8). Kristin Lee, Regulatory and Legislative Affairs Director for Century Link, updated the Committee on CenturyLink's expansion projects on the Reservation. Ms. Lee described the process for receiving federal funding and provided a checklist (appendix 9) CenturyLink utilizes when federal funds are involved. Mike Kenney, Dubois Telephone General Manager, updated the Committee on Dubois Telephone's projects, including the fiber construction in Crow Heart and the finalization of fiber connectivity to Indian Health Services in Arapahoe. Patrick Adam Lawson, Northern Arapaho Tribal Industries General Manager, described recent successes in getting broadband to homes on the Reservation. Northern Arapaho Tribal Industries has placed equipment on water towers and has been able to provide access to over 150 locations. The service requires line of sight, so the more towers there are, the more service can be provided. Mr. Lawson will see about getting service to the Boulder Flats area and will address the issue at the next meeting. Norm Long, SourceGas, updated the Committee on the 17 Mile and Mill Creek Housing projects. Keri Bohlmann, Wyoming Department of Transportation Utilities Branch, discussed progress of the Department's road projects. The Committee encouraged the Department of Transportation to proactively facilitate the use of the state rights-of-way on the Reservation by utilities. LAW ENFORCEMENT Michael Bennett, Fremont County Attorney, and William Mathews, Wind River Agency Chief of Police, encouraged the Committee to sponsor the Wind River law enforcement bill draft (appendix 10). The bill draft would allow Wind River law enforcement officers to enforce state traffic laws and to cite individuals who are not tribal members. Senator Craft moved to have the Committee support the bill draft and to encourage the Joint Judiciary to sponsor the bill. The motion passed unanimously. Al Addison, Northern Arapaho Business Council, suggested the Tribal Codes be considered to assure there is no conflict. Sara Robinson, Eastern Shoshone Tribal Liaison, Darwin (Sonny) St. Clair, Eastern Shoshone Business Council Chairman, Willard Gould, Northern Arapaho Business Council, Gary Collins, Northern Arapaho Tribal Liaison, and Allison Sage spoke in favor of the bill. HEALTH CARE UPDATE AND AFFORDABLE CARE ACT Cathy Keene, Eastern Shoshone Tribal Health Director, asked for the Committee's support of a demonstration waiver from Medicaid to allow expanded Medicaid coverage for Tribal members. Ms. Keene provided handouts on the waiver program and community health needs (appendix 11). Sheree Nall, Department of Health Medicaid Provider Services, explained that funding would come from a 100% federal match. Allison Sage, Northern Arapaho Tribal Health Director, supported the waiver request. Charles Aragon, Riverton Hospital Native American Liaison, believed that the hospital would support the request. Glen Revere, Indian Health Services, provided an update on increased services and recent projects. Mr. Revere also supported the demonstration waiver. Carole Justice, Chair, Service

  • Voting Record on Voting Record Small Business Issues 2016 Edition
    2016 | Wyoming YOUR LEGISLATORS’ VOTING RECORD ON VOTING RECORD SMALL BUSINESS ISSUES 2016 EDITION 2015–16 SESSION: Floor votes by your state legislators on key small business issues are listed inside. The Voting Record does not reflect all elements considered by a lawmaker when voting, nor does it represent a complete profile of a legislator, but it can be a guide in evaluat- ing a legislator’s attitude toward small business. Many issues affecting small business are decided in committees and never make it to the floor of the House or Senate. Unfortunately, there were not enough contrasting Senate floor votes to develop a voting record that provided any insight into a legislator’s level of support for small business issues. Please thank those legislators who supported small business and continue to work with those who have fallen short. 2015 4.

  • 6.0 Consultation and Coordination
    Chokecherry and Sierra Madre Final EIS Chapter 6.0 – Consultation and Coordination 6-1 6.0 Consultation and Coordination This EIS was conducted in accordance with NEPA requirements, CEQ regulations, and the DOI and BLM policies and procedures implementing NEPA. NEPA and the associated laws, regulations, and policies require the BLM to seek public involvement early in, and throughout, the planning process to develop a reasonable range of alternatives to PCW’s Proposed Action and prepare environmental documents that disclose the potential impacts of alternatives considered. Public involvement and agency consultation and coordination, which have been at the heart of the process leading to this draft EIS, were achieved through FR notices, public and informal meetings, individual contacts, media releases, and the project website. From the initial proposal of the project, the public and agencies have been approached for input on the project scope and development, as discussed in Chapter 1.0. This chapter describes this public involvement process as well as other key consultation and coordination. 6.1 Agency Participation and Coordination Specific regulations require the BLM to coordinate and consult with federal, state, and local agencies about the potential of the project and alternatives to affect sensitive environmental and human resources. The BLM initiated these coordination and consultation activities through the scoping process and has maintained them through regular meetings regarding key topics (e.g., alternatives and impact analyses)
